_____________________________________________________________________

Earth Day is just around the corner, but really…like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, shouldn’t we be celebrating Earth Day every single day of the year? After all, it’s only with consistent effort and persistence that can we improve our atmosphere and work to turn back some of the pernicious effects of over-consumption and pollution. That said, there’s no reason why we can’t inject a bit of fun and style into the activities. So whether your kids are babies or are off at school with lunch bags, there is something we can do at every stage of their life to not only help the earth but to teach our kids the fundamental of conservation.

>>WIN ALL THIS!! To win, comment here on one thing you do to conserve and recycle, sign up for A-List Mom emails, and you could win the entire prize package with all these amazing products!

1. gDiapers: I don’t have to tell you that there are a billion diapers floating around our landfills and it’s only getting worse. One of the biggest things parents can do to help save the earth is to switch to cloth diapers. gDiapers new spring collection with the adorable covers and new two piece sets are already almost sold out, but we have a little gPant (diaper cover) named “Good Lovin” and a 2-piece coordinating sets named gStyle plus biodegradable gRefills to give to one lucky winner.

2. Aden & Anais Organic Crib Set: For years, Aden & Anais has been making gorgeous and impossibly muslin blankets, bibs, and accessories. Now I am so excited to introduce the all new organic crib set. All natural and safe for baby with gorgeous designs and complete breathability, parents are already buying out this latest addition to the collection. And you could win two for your little monkeys.

3. Lunchskins: Now that your babies have grown, stop using those plastic bags that muck up our environment and invest in these super stylish lunch bags. With so many sizes including sandwiches and snacks, there’s really no excuse to use plastic bags anymore. One lucky winner will score a package of 5 Lunchskins bags.

4. Belli Beautiful Book: The book Belli Beautiful: The Essential Guide to the Safest Health and Beauty Products for Pregnancy, Mom, and Baby was co-written by Annette Rubin and Melissa Schweiger to show moms how to detoxify their skincare regimens during pregnancy and beyond. We love this book because it identifies all the ingredients to avoid and has a nice list of “safe” products so you can avoid bad products and still look glam.

Rules: Entries must be submitted by April 20, 2012 by 11.59 pm ET. U.S. residents only. No purchase necessary. Contest not open to employees of BabyCenter and their families. Winner must reply to claim prize within 72 hours of receiving the email notifying them they have won. Please expect 3-5 weeks for delivery of prize.

Oh I’m so excited because I love all these items! I recycle our soda cans and I also recycle our WalMart sacks.
The number 1 thing I do for the environment is cloth diaper my baby!

We recycle everything we can, soda cans, bottles, paper. I love that my 3 year old knows what is recyclable or not.

There are a few simple things I do to celebrate earth day everyday. I shop with recyclable bags,I go meatless on Mondays,use babyganic products to clean the house and for my baby’s skin. I recycle and use filters for the faucet.I wanted to try the cloth diapers when my baby was born last year and I doubted myself a bit, but now I know I could’ve done it. It would be great to give those gDiapers a try and the organic crib set. Actually it would be great to try all those products!

We recycle and use reusable water bottles instead of buying bottled water. Being a first time soon-to-be mom, we’re still looking into cloth diapering. Thank you for bringing awareness and this great giveaway opportunity!

We recycle our pop cans, tin cans, water bottles, and use as many planet friendly items as possible

We cloth diaper and use organic bedding and beauty products whenever possible. We also compost, recycle almost everything, freecycle the rest, and use a solar hot water heater. We are vegetarians who grow most of our own organic fruits and veggies and can and freeze surplus to use all year. Our next steps are a water cistern and a combination of wind and solar to take us off the grid.

We use reusable water bottles, reusable shopping bags, microfiber wash rags for cleaning instead of paper towels, recycle, and I’m working on using better for the environment laundry detergent (thanks to Denise Cortes).

We pick up cans on the side of the road and recycle them.
We re-use boxes we get from the store.
We use cloth diapers most of the time instead of store bought.

Use reusable bags, and whatever plastic bags we get, become garbage bags.

We recycle everything that we can. The reusable lunch bags would be great for my daughter!

We try to save Mother Earth in our own small ways: we shop using recyclable bags, reuse plastic bottles, wash plastic take out containers and use them as food containers (refigerated or otherwise). We stick to environmentally-safe household cleaners, the basics: vinegar and baking soda. I also use vinegar as the final rinse on my hair instead — it’s the best conditioner ever! I am now pregnant with our first, and am seriously looking at environmentally-friendly baby products, first of which would be diapers.

Great products! We switched to non-toxic cleaning products. I know it’s not much, but every bit helps.

We cloth diaper, recycle, and I make a lot of our food from scratch, which cuts way down on packaging.

It seems like a small step but I have stopped buying bottled water and started using bottles from home that can be washed and reused. I reuse the bottles and save money in the process. Its a win, win situation.

I purchased a new computer a few weeks ago and was shocked to learn I had to pay extra for one that was energy star compliant. I paid the up charge then took my old computer to a state certified non land fill recycle center.
